Can I have a handling fee for ONE product or category?

Great!

I don't know PHP that well, just a little from looking at the code in my site. Do you know what I need to change so that the syntax is correct for either/or products as opposed to both (+)...

$extra_charge = ($chk_product_1393 * 7.50) + ($chk_product_1394 * 7.50);

You could use instead of:

$extra_charge = ($chk_product_1393 * 7.50) + ($chk_product_1394 * 7.50);

if ($chk_product_19 > 0  || $chk_product_32 > 0) {
  $extra_charge = 7.50;
} else {
  $extra_charge = 0.00;
}

Hey Ajeh,

I'd like to do the same thing but with the ups module. If any products from category 2 are in the shopping cart, I'd like to add an extra charge of $10.
I don't really know what I'm doing but I tried the following code. My changes are in red.

$cost = preg_replace('/[^0-9.]/', '', $cost);
// bof: add accessories charge
$chk_categories = $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','2');
$extra_charge = ($chk_categories * 10.00);

$methods[] = array('id' => $type,
'title' => $this->types[$type],
'cost' => ($cost * $shipping_num_boxes) + (MODULE_SHIPPING_UPS_HANDLING_METHOD == 'Box' ? MODULE_SHIPPING_UPS_HANDLING * $shipping_num_boxes : MODULE_SHIPPING_UPS_HANDLING + $extra_charge) );

This didn't change anything on the shipping totals even when I had products from category 2 in the shopping cart.
Any suggestions?

All your posts in various threads have been very helpful-- thanks for that!

Is categories_id 2 the master_categories_id or is it the parent_id for the Products/Categories that need the extra fee?

A link to your site might also be helpful to be able to check the layout of your shop ...

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. The categories id 2 is the category id for my accessories. I want all products within this category to have the extra shipping charge when UPS is used as the shipping method.

My website is ---premierwagons.com---

Thank you!

What happens if you change the cost calculation to:

'cost' => ($cost * $shipping_num_boxes)  + $extra_charge + (MODULE_SHIPPING_UPS_HANDLING_METHOD == 'Box' ? MODULE_SHIPPING_UPS_HANDLING * $shipping_num_boxes : MODULE_SHIPPING_UPS_HANDLING) );

That worked! That is, when products from category two are shipped via UPS, an extra $10 are added to shipping cost.

Would there be a way to apply this extra charge only once (even if multiple quantities of products from category two are in cart)?
Perhaps the coding would be something like this? (albeit my code in red seems a little redundant) :

$cost = preg_replace('/[^0-9.]/', '', $cost);
// bof: add accessories charge
$chk_categories = $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','2');
$extra_charge = ($chk_categories * 10.00);
if ($chk_categories > 0) {
$extra_charge = 10.00;
}



Ideally, (but not totally essential) I'd like to have it set up so that the extra charge is only applied once for a quantity of 3 accessories. If the quantity goes over three, add extra charge again. If it goes over 6, the charge would have been added three times...

Is the coding for this simple enough?

Thanks again for your time.

You could try:

$cost = preg_replace('/[^0-9.]/', '', $cost);
// bof: add accessories charge
$chk_categories = $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','2');
$extra_charge = (ceil($chk_categories/3) * 10.00);
